I give Trump about 6 hours before he violates the order again.

[romandevivo]

Actions speak louder than words… We are still waiting.

[Mr.Canuck]

YAWN. The American justice system is a joke.

[Darkbluedevil]

If you fine him financially like a normal person, punish him like a normal defendant. Anyone else would be in jail! Time for equal justice under law.

[wildnfree]

I want to see the justice system works again. If he is innocent, let him go. If not lock him up. No more delay.

[phillloyd]

He won’t stop!! We all know he won’t!!

[qnzhpwm]

Anyone else would already be jailed for these stunts.

[morrisyarnell]

Criminals belong in jail yet this criminal is still free and showing his disrespect for the judge and our country. Lock him up. A vile human being is pretending he never does anything wrong, then why is he so intent in being immune from prosecution? The empty threats of incarceration do nothing. It's like a parent counting to three for the misbehaving child.

Love how he plays you fools like a fiddle 😂😂😂 all of you 😂😂😂

[spiceyhotpot]

Should already be in jail, but will see if it happens when Dump violates the order again by tonight...

[ljl]

Money is not a punishment for DT...his freedom is !!!...or is this all a smoke screen?

[mwmvlls]

It should be easy to avoid. Just don't talk about the jurors and witnesses. The job of your lawyers is to question the witnesses.

[KtotheL]

it just focuses on our broken system and how all it takes it $$$ to do tf you want

[terrencekane]

If Judge Merchan was to lock up the Orange John, even if it's just for one day, there would be dancing in the streets.

[Ibuddy]

Enoigh warnings. I'm sick and tired of this man. Most people are. Hes a criminal and needs to be placed with other criminals. Enough is enough.

[Josh-lqbx]

Put him in prison until the end of his trials

[MrMarmaduke]

I could have sworn that if anyone violates a gag order, they are immediately charged with contempt of court and put in jail and he’s done it 9 times already so what’s really going on here ?

[sassilou]

Rikers will keep his bed warm for him ❤ so hes not FREEZING COLD 🥶

[jans]

and if the average person violated an order 9 times they would be locked up! how many chanced do rich people get compared to the poor.

[jonathano]

Rich and powerful can get away with it. But the poor middle class.
